Is Obama off his brain? What's the meaning of this?
Indian strategists are schooled in the eight-year cherished belief that the future of the US-India partnership lay in the two countries striding "shoulder-to-shoulder" in terms of a shared "vision".
From the Indian end, the "vision" meant that the US recognized India's primacy as the number one military power in the Indian Ocean region and built it up as an Asian counterweight to China. The "vision" had a dream run during the Bush era. India has held something like 50 military exercises with the US during the past five-year period.
But Obama's priorities lie elsewhere. The America he inherited has different priorities. The world, too, has changed following the global downturn. Clinton is on a formidable diplomatic mission as the harbinger of startling tidings to Delhi. Rhetoric has been completely lacking in her repertoire.
Who's dictating foreign policy now? It used to be the CFR/TLC/MIC but this seems a very strange move for them. Is Obama forming his own policy now? Obama, there is the little matter of the balance of power and two countries called China and Russia. Is this a sweetheart deal for Vladimir so he and China won't form a pact?
News is - they have:
Both sides insisted that the visit by China's President Hu Jintao to Russia on June 16-18 was aimed at further deepening the bilateral strategic partnership and developing energy cooperation.
Perhaps the White House was aware of this:
Russian and Chinese state-run energy companies struggle to agree to a compromise on energy prices.
Is that what's behind the cooling towards India? Or is it the CIA's sweetheart relationship with the ISI which has made it politic for Clinton to appear less than enthusiastic? Is Obama happy to allow Russia to step into the breach and be Delhi's friend again?

Since we are talking internationally.....
ReplyDeleteI am seeing things like....
US foreign embassies being instructed to buy local currencies sufficient for up to 6 months normal usage, but not sterling.
Senior Japanese execs at a company being advised to be back in Japan by September.
20 ish days ago Israeli subs went through Suez into the Indian ocean. These subs are capable of carrying nuclear missiles.
15 ish days ago they were followed by Israeli surface vessels with similar capabilities.
Isreali jets are practicing long range activities in the US.
Avionics have been enhanced on certain models.
Egyptian permission is needed to traverse Suez. It was given.
Israel has secured agreement to over-fly Saudi Arabia, re Iran.
More troops and equipment are arriving in Afghanistan. This is allegedly a Nato operation. ermm, Nato??
"Nato" has secured transit agreements with many of the "Stans" for equipment.
Chin, Russia, and up to 100 smaller countries are willing to condemn the US, via reserve currency moves aimed at weakening the "$ reserve currency" status. They have finally realised that their funding of US deficits, is in fact funding their own military encirclement.
Several states in the US will be issuing IOUs by September. Certain US Unions financial reserves, held for pension payments, will be gone by september.
The IMF is continually warning the UK about being financial silly buggers
Like this
And the UK politicians just fumble and play at slash and burn.
There is mounting evidence that the current combinations that make up "swine-flu", were made in a laboratory.
Certainly the international state media is reacting alarmingly to statistics that were it normal flu, they would ignore.
Obama willingness to let CIT go down shows an appalling lack of understanding of the true situation, ...., or is something else entirely....
Gold is rising in spite of the capping. Central banks have become quietly net purchasers. Comex net shorts are now able to pay longs with "paper gold", ie derivative backed assets, not the real stuff. Same in Hong Kong. Once certain nations have enough real stuff, that will severely piss them off. Actions will be taken.
Oil was projected to fall and stabilise somewhere between $45-$55 per barrel. It stopped at $59 ish, and has started to climb.
Trading algorithms now make true price discovery on most commodities impossible, and place them at the mercy of Wall Street manipulations. Prices have little relation to the real world.
Joe Bidden (Vice Pres,)now says the US is going bankrupt.
Something is going down. Something serious.

ReplyDeleteWhy would the real power in The States, the power which runs the economy and makes the transition from party to party, President to President smooth - why would they have pushed so hard, manipulated the media, mocked the calls for Obama to prove his citizenship and then come up with that laughable document on his website?
ReplyDeleteWhy would they have pushed so hard for him to be President? Why would the party, in Yes Minister, have pushed so hard for Jim Hacker to become PM?
You catch my drift?
You are singing to the choir, James.
ReplyDeleteI was seeking to issue a warning.
(Secondhand big freezer, tinned, bottled, long life food, etc, cash not plastic, etc......or, if you are rich enough, be self sufficient on your own island, and f*ck the global insanity)
You have to wonder if the speculation, about Clintons first visit to China, just after her appointment, really did relate to eminent domain laws in the US and China acquisitions under them.
ReplyDeleteChina has just relaxed laws on the repatriation of foreign currencies earned by exporting companies. For qualifying companies, the foreign currency does not have to be repatriated in China, and may be used to purchase assets in the issuing country.
That is significant, and helps control bubbles in China.
It is significant, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAnd here comes the official version. :-)
ReplyDeleteObama has really very cool attitude for other countries such as India, China, and Russia etc. and this is very good for world’s future.Watch a free video on Gold IRA.
